We assist restaurants and hotels in their journey towards sustainability, helping them achieve recognition and advance towards a climate-positive future.

The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) outlines four key sustainability standards: waste reduction, energy efficiency, natural resource conservation, and community engagement. Accommodations that meet these standards are awarded the Eco Climate Badge as formal recognition of their dedication to sustainable tourism.
